1 Feature License Requirements

OverviewDisplaying the Installed Licenses and Feature PacksSwitch License FeaturesFeature Pack Features

This document introduces the licenses and feature packs available for the ExtremeXOS software andlists the features they support.

Overview

The ExtremeXOS software supports the following license options:

• L2 Edge

• Edge

• Advanced Edge

• Core

• Feature Packs

The L2 Edge license provides a basic feature set and the Core license includes the highest level offunctionality. Each license level builds on the features of the license level below it. For example, theAdvanced Edge license includes all of the features in the L2 Edge and Edge licenses, plus the features inthe Advance Edge license. The Core license includes all of the features in the Advanced Edge license,plus the features in the Core license. See the following table for a list of software licenses available foreach platform that supports ExtremeXOS software.

NoteThe Advanced Core license is no longer offered.

Software keys are stored in the EEPROM of the chassis and, once enabled, persist through reboots,software upgrades, power outages, and reconfigurations. Because the license is stored in the EEPROMof the chassis (and not on the MSM/MM card), the license persists even if you change MSM/MM cards.The keys are unique to the chassis or switch and are not transferable.

If you attempt to execute a command and you either do not have the required license or have reachedthe limits defined by the current license level, the system returns one of the following messages:

Error: This command cannot be executed at the current license level.Error: You have reached the maximum limit for this feature at this license level.

You can obtain a trial license, which allows you to use the license for 30, 60, or 90 days, and you candowngrade trial licenses to a lower software license level during the trial period. After you enable thetrial license, the switch behaves as if all software license levels and feature packs are enabled. The triallicense key contains all the necessary information on the license level and the number of days. Onceyou have a trial license for any one of these periods, you cannot extend the time of the trial. And, triallicenses can be applied only once for each software version; if you upgrade to a different softwareversion, you can reapply your trial license.

Displaying the Installed Licenses and Feature Packs

You can display the types of licenses and feature packs installed on your Extreme Networks switch byusing the show licenses command.

Switch License Features

L2 Edge License Features

The L2 Edge license provides all Layer-2 switch applicable capabilities of the ExtremeXOS softwarethat are not licensed by the higher license levels (the Edge, Advanced Edge, and Core licenses) and theFeature Packs.

1 Summit X460 switches require the Advanced Edge or Core license to support MPLS.2 For the E4G-200, you obtain the MPLS feature pack by upgrading to an Advanced Edge license. For the E4G-400,

the Advanced Edge license is standard and already includes the MPLS feature pack.3 To run MPLS with BlackDiamond 8900 xl-series modules, a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch requires ExtremeXOS

Release 12.5 or later, BlackDiamond 8900-MSM128, and BlackDiamond 8900 xl-series modules. No other modulesare supported when MPLS runs on a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch with ExtremeXOS 12.5.

4 To run MPLS with BlackDiamond 8900 xm-series modules, a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch requiresExtremeXOS Release 12.6 or later, BlackDiamond 8900-MSM128, and BlackDiamond 8900 xl- or xm-series modules.No other modules are supported when MPLS runs on a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch with ExtremeXOS 12.6 orlater.



Feature packs are distributed in one of the following forms:

• Software component within ExtremeXOS software

• Modular software package, which is also known as an xmod file (due to the xmod filenameextension)

To start using a feature pack that is a component of ExtremeXOS, you must purchase a license to usethe feature pack as described in Software Upgrade and Boot Options in the ExtremeXOS User Guide.

To start using a feature pack that is distributed in a modular software package, you must request thexmod file from your supplier and install it as described in Installing a Modular Software Package in theExtremeXOS User Guide.

NoteThe SSH feature pack is the exception to the above rules. The SSH feature pack is distributedin a modular software package and requires a license before feature operation. There is nocharge for the license.

EXOS Non-Extreme Optics Licensing

Currently you can purchase and use optical devices from Extreme Networks to attach to high-speedports, and you can also purchase and use optical devices from 3rd party vendors. In keeping withstandard industry practices, Extreme Networks restricts the use of high-speed 3rd party opticaldevices, unless you purchase a feature license to allow their unrestricted use (direct support for suchusage will continue to be limited).

NoteThis feature does not require an xmod.

This feature creates a feature license named “3rd Party Optics”. Like other feature licenses, once youapply the license to a specific box, that box is permanently enabled to allow the unrestricted use of 3rdparty high speed transceivers. Without a license, ports that are attached to such devices arecontinuously restricted. This restriction does not apply to stacking ports.

A restricted port has egress rate limiting applied applied at the rate of 25% of capacity. All egress trafficis subject to the rate limiter, as if a user-defined egress rate limiter were configured and enabled. Therestriction is flagged by show command output, and warning messages are issued when opticaldevices are inserted and at port ‘enable’ time (CLI ‘enable’). The restriction is lifted when the properlicense is installed.

NotePurchase of a single optics license allows all 3rd party devices for the life of the box.

When the first 3rd party high speed transceiver is detected, the system odometer value is stored innvram. This serves as the start time for the 90 day trial period. During the trial period, warningmessages are generated whenever a 3rd party high speed transceiver is detected, an attached port isenabled, or when another day ticks off the trial period; but the ports will not be restricted until the trialperiod ends. No warnings are generated if there are no flagged transceivers attached, but the trial



period will continue to count down. When the trial period expires, ports are restricted when the nextenable is performed (a port actively forwarding data will not be immediately restricted).

Caveats and Restrictions

The EXOS 3rd Party Optics Licensing feature has the following caveats and restrictions:

• The system reads and interprets the license information, and maintains a flag that indicates thepresence of the optics license.

• The system reads and interprets the trial period time, and generates a message if a threshold isreached.

At optical device insertion time:

• If the optical device license is installed, no further action is necessary.

• If the device is an Extreme device, no further action is necessary.

• If this is the first 3rd party high speed device detected, tell EMP process to start the trial period.

• Set appropriate flags in the port media data, distribute to VlanMgr process.

• Add rate limiter restriction if necessary.

• Generate warning messages as appropriate.

If you remove the device, the following conditions occur:

• The system updates port media data, and distribute to VlanMgr process.

When you enable a port, the following conditions occur:

• The system determines if the port is restricted (especially in cases where the trial period expired,and the port was active before).

• The system generates a warning message to a console with restricted ports.

• The system generates a warning EMS message that indicates a restriction, or trial period status.

When you enable a license, the system reads and interprets the new license information. If itdetermines the optics license is now active, and it was not active before, the following conditions occur:

• Sets the optics license present flag.

• Search the port list for restricted ports, set flags, and distribute to VlanMgr.

• Remove all restriction indications.

• NoteThis feature requires you to coordinate with other Extreme corporate processes, includinghow to generate a license, and how to purchase a license.

Supported Platforms

All platforms that support high-speed optical devices are supported with this feature. The current list ofdevices subject to restriction includes:

• QSFP+ SR4

• QSFP+ LR4

• QSFP+ Passive Copper 0.5m Cable

• QSFP+ Passive Copper 1m Cable





• QSFP+ Active Optical 5m Cable





• QSFP+ to SFP+ Fan Out Passive Copper 3m Cable - QSFP+ end

• QSFP+ to SFP+ Fan Out Passive Copper 5m Cable - QSFP+ end

CNA Feature Pack

The CNA feature pack is distributed in an modular software package and provides the client softwarerequired to work with the Converged Network Analyzer (CNA) software from Avaya Inc.®

For more information on CNA, see CNA Agent in the ExtremeXOS User Guide.

Direct Attach Feature Pack

The Direct Attach feature, which is based on the IEEE version of VEPA, eliminates the virtual switchlayer, simplifying the network and improving performance.

Direct Attach enables data center simplification by reducing network tiers from 4 or 5 tiers to just 3 or 2tiers, depending on the size of the data center.

This feature pack is included with all ExtremeXOS software licenses and can be enabled by purchasingand enabling a feature pack license key.

For more information the direct attach feature, see Manage Direct Attach to Support VEPA in theExtremeXOS User Guide.

Legacy CLI Feature Pack

The Legacy CLI feature enables those who have experience with legacy, mode-based CLIs to usefamiliar commands to start using the ExtremeXOS software using commands they already know.

The Legacy CLI feature is distributed in a file that you can download and install as described in Software Upgrade and Boot Options.

For more information on the Legacy CLI feature, see the Legacy CLI Quick Reference Guide in theExtremeXOS User Guide.



MPLS Feature Pack (IPv4 Only)

MPLS support, including VPLS L2 VPNs and L3 VPNs, can be obtained from Extreme Networks at anadditional cost, as a feature pack.

Note

The MPLS Feature Pack features are supported only on the platforms listed inthe followingtable: Table 8: ExtremeXOS Feature Pack Features on page 17. BlackDiamond 8800 seriesswitches require specific software and hardware to support MPLS, and these requirementsare specified in the same preceding table.

A separate feature pack must be purchased for each switch that will run MPLS and VPLS.

This feature pack is included with the Advanced Edge and Core software licenses and can be enabledby purchasing and enabling a feature pack license key.

After you enable the feature pack, the feature CLI commands are visible; without an enabled MPLSfeature pack, you do not see any feature commands on the console.

SSH Feature Pack

Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) is a feature of the ExtremeXOS software that allows you to encrypt session databetween a network administrator using SSH2 client software and the switch or to send encrypted datafrom the switch to an SSH2 client on a remote system.

Configuration, image, public key, and policy files can be transferred to the switch using the SecureCopy Protocol 2 (SCP2) or the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

SSH contains strong encryption algorithms which heighten the export controls required in the US andother countries. Once the export clearance requirements are met, there is no charge to download theSSH modular software package and enable this feature. For more information, see Software Upgradeand Boot Options
